Little Italy is decent place. Its authentic Italian restaurant and it's *pure veg*. We had Pasta Barbaresca, Spinaci Salsa, Chef sp. Risotto and Vergin Mojito. Food is good, not very costly. Avoid mocktails, instead go for hard drinks if you do. Staff is courteous but need to be groomed. Ambience is peaceful but this *Italy* needs to liven up the air a *Little.*
This place is near mainland China, and sigree so easy to find. The ambience was quiet, soothing, clean. An exquisitely Italian resto. We ordered a penne pasta in pink sauce with cream mushroom soup. Food was cooked to perfection.. flavours were amazing!! Quantity also was sufficient for 2. For the price, I think it's worth it..
It's right next to Raghuleela Mall in Vashi. We went there for a team lunch. The ambiance of the place is very calm and minimalistic.
Coming to food we ordered nachos, garlic bread, white and red sauce pasta, pizza and lasagne with some drinks like Virgin Mary, Blue moon and honeymoon. They do serve craft beer though.
The food was really good. The lasagne was really creamy and filling. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the red one had a bit of tangy flavour due to pickles. The pizzas were great as well.
Definitely worth a visit if you are mood for a filling Italian cuisine. Although prices might be on a higher side.
Visited this place few days back with my colleauges.. we had opted for buffet.. Unlimited yummy food for resonable rate.. enjoyed all the dishes served.. nice food, good quality and sufficient quantity too..
I have been here for like 4-5 times I liked it before as now the buffet menu is kinda okay! Good place for pizza and pasta lovers ❤️ Good Service. Nice Staff.
Italian delight for vegetarians! The best most authentic italian i have had till date! Little italy can never go wrong!
Im not a great fan of spaghetti so I avoid that. But otherwise, the lasagne and fettuccine in white and alfredo sauce along with the toppings of your choice, mine being mushrooms and broccoli are simply amazing!!
In desserts, penna cotta and tiramisu are super tasty and must have!!
A place with calm and royal ambiance ! If you wanna have a filler lunch just go for the buffet, they serve amazing menu ! Deserts are real wonder with mango cheese cake wining the race !
Overall good Italian food with royal ambiance !
Looking for some authentic Italian food specially Pizza and Pasta, this is the place. Being hardcore vegetarian gives us more reasons to visit this restaurant.
We ordered Sauté vegetables and it didn’t disappoint none of us. Our main course had two pizza, one is Napol and another one is Alla (without vodka). I think lots of onions in Napol didn’t give us the pleasure what we got through Alla. ( Though we enjoyed Napol at Indore branch). Finally pink pasta with added vegetables had made our dinner very special.
Enjoyed the ambiance as well and staff was very helpful too.
Will definitely visit the place again to try out something different.
I had visited Little Italy before for buffet but this time I tried out their a la carte menu. The food did not disappoint. The service was good too but the overall ambience of the restaurant felt a bit lifeless. The view from the huge glass wall was not particularly appetising. This lead to my lower score.
A restaurant for dates and family dinner..
Food is good, service is nice. Ambience is beautiful..
Their menu has amazing options
Tried it for the first time and was really happy.
Great place & perfect ambiance for a relaxing evening with light music going on in background.
Best for vegetarians. Go there only if you want to try something different & not the regular roti bhaji.
We tried their Nachos with beans, Coreline salad & Pizza Napoli (pizza base made in house ).
All the dishes were well presented & had a different taste.
So guys go & test your taste Buds ;)

Well, this lunch date will remain one of our most memorable romantic dates together ❤️
By the way, this is vegetarian only Italian restaurant, so don't expect any chicken, mutton, fish or egg preparations.
We were returning from Kihim beach, Alibaug (after a 3 day long trip 😜) in our beach clothes and we felt hungry. That was the time when we decided to have something together for lunch in Vashi. Hubby parked his car opposite to his office building (where this restaurant is located). I insisted Ash that we should conclude our trip with a lunch in Little Italy. It was 3.25 PM already and the restaurant was going to close at 3.30 PM, hence I called the restaurant immediately and the manager was happy to have us as their final guests of the afternoon!!!
We were welcomed warmly even though we were dressed like hippies for a fancy fine dine restaurant. We ordered Pasta Barbaresca (creamy tomato sauce with fresh broccoli, tomatoes, garlic, parsley, sun dried tomatoes, parmesan cheese and chilly pepper) and Sicilia thin crust pizza (toppings consisted of tomato sauce, mozzarella, mushrooms, garlic, pickled onions, sun dried tomatoes and fresh basil marinated in a chilly sauce).
We also ordered two mocktails - Bingo and Dreams Unlimited. The food was fabulous and we felt the pizza and pasta had genuine Italian flavours, however the drinks were just average. We ordered Bingo which tasted more like a fruit punch (pomegranate, vanilla ice cream, orange) and Dreams Unlimited - a drink made from kiwi, green grapes and pomegranate which lacked much flavour and zest. Both were just 2.5/5 drinks, hence we have given the overall rating as 4/5.
A word of advice - please check your bill before you tip, we found our bill to have an 8% Service Charge included.
Nevertheless our overall experience was simply awesome and will be imprinted in our memories for a very long time ☺❤️
Been here many times , insane place for Italian dishes! If you're looking for Pasta , try the Pasta Barbaresca , it's the best I ever had.
The place is never crowded mostly , it actually gives you a feeling like you are sitting in Venice with good paintings and atmosphere
Food - 5/5
Ambiance - 4/5
Service - 4/5
Experience -4/5
Overall -4/5
Food here is amazing. Specially if you like Italian food then this place is amazing. It is expensive but worth.
Always worth the visit. I totally love their thin crust wood burnt pizzas. Rissotto, Lasagne, Burritos are also good. Just remember that this is Veg only restuarant.
One of those places in Vashi where you get Italian buffet. But only vegetarian can be a let down for some. But good food in totality. Especially the crostini and pastas. Have variety of options available.
Food was good , no issue but u charge 8% service charge in customer total bill amount it's not mandatory so u can't directly add. Our Indian Government approved guidelines about service charge. As per guidelines service charge is totally voluntary. So please check Government guidelines.
Authentic pasta served here, one should must have pasta at this place
Pizza is not that great, it can be optional in you'd order but pasta is must
Deserts are also good
I being vegan found this place a good option
This place is for veggie lovers . Pure vegetarian restaurant in navi mumbai . There ambiance is nice and food is average . Good for people who like italian dishes .
Little Italy can never go wrong, be it in Mumbai or Pune. We ordered for enchiladas with beans and corn and as usual they were scrumptious. The ambience is sober, and the food at this place is great.

Little Italy place is located right next to Raghuleela mall in Vashi. The place is a boon for hard core Italian food lovers. You will not be left disappointed if authentic Italian cuisine is what you are craving for.
The experience was good. However, the food from the A la carte menu is a bit expensive. Will visit again to try their buffet.

Long standing pending visit, finally got lucky on a Sunday, to visit Little Italy exactly after 5 yrs! How much has it changed over 5 yrs ? We opted for their Brunch which had
FOOD ( 3.5/5 )
Zuppa Di Pomodoro : Pomodoro means sauce made from tomatoes. A fancy Italian name for our very own Tomato soup, but flavours were lil different. Not the typical Indian creamy & sweetish one! Liked it.
Nachos with Cheese Sauce : Crispy corn tortillas topped with cheese shredded with capsicum served with salsa. Fair.
Bruschetta Al Pomodoro : Thick bread grilled & topped with Tomato & Cucumber Salad. Bad. Give it a miss.
Cheese Corn Balls : Tiny deep fried balls stuffed with cheese & corn. The size of the ball was so small that before you understand the tatse, it's already over!
Onion Rings : BEST. Thin rinng of onion dipped in batter and then deep fried with salty chat masala sprinkled over. Perfectly done. MUST HAVE.
Assorted Pizza : 3 types of pizzas were served having different topping & sauces, made on thin crust base. Weren't too cheesy. Good.
Lasagne : Thick sheets of pasta, overcooked, too dry. Everything had gone wrong. Give it a miss.
Pasta : Make your own pasta. Loved it. Variety of vegetables with red/ white/ pink sauce. 4 different types of pastas available. Superb.
Desserts : WINNERS. Mango Cheese Cake, Chocolate Mousse, Blueberry Cheese Cake & Caramel Custard. Portion size was of 2 bites. But the chef had nailed it. Skip the main course to have these!
SERVICE ( 2/5 )
The service was really slow, we had to repeatedly ask to serve us the starters. Infact they missed out on serving 2 starters which we reminded them. Everyone seemed perplexed, lack of coordination among staff was clearly visible. They need to work.
AMBIANCE ( 3/5 )
A huge wall with grand canal ( Venice ) whic justifies their Italian connection. Roof height is really good. Ample place for buffet spread. Overall good.
CONCLUSION
All this food at just 599 + tax, that too for a Sunday Brunch. There food standards have gone down sure over 5 yrs, especially main course but it's worth visiting of are vegetarian & italian food lover. VFM 4/5.
this is kids favourite place..we usually go for lunch buffet..but felt that the little italy of hyderabad(hitech city branch) has much more variety than the vashi branch in navi mumbai...i havent visited any other in mumbai so cant comment..however the quality and taste of whatever served is not compromised..but there cud be more spread in the buffet...
We had been for the unlimited lunch buffet. The place was occupied by only 3 tables. The soup, salads and canapés were spread across buffet table where as the rest of it was suppose to be ordered on the table from the fixed menu. Generally the food was good but the canapés had got over at the counter , we reminded the staff time and again but they kept telling us that they are coming.
From the fixed menu we called for
Bruschettes Al Pomodora: Average
Flat bread Crostinis : Alright
Tabasco Pizza: Good
Sicilia Pizza: Good
Pasta Barbararesca: Good
C-21: Average
Virgin Mojito: Nice
Peach ice Tea: alright
The half an extra rating we are giving for the two yummy desserts that made out day . The Chocolate pastry and Barbosa.
Good Service and staff we have stopped expecting from Navi Mumbai restaurants.
Repeat Quotient: Maybe
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
This is the best restaurant I've been to in the past year, Italian or otherwise.
---- A vegetarian Italian place. It's a blissful feeling!
---- This is authentic Italian fare, believe me. And even if you don't care about what's authentic or not, I recommend this place for the sake of your taste buds. There's a variety of spices, and every delicate little taste comes through.
---- This was a year ago, so I don't remember what I ordered -- I think it was a white-sauce pasta, a cheese/mushroom thing, and some kind of bake. I thought I'd have one dish, but after the pasta, I ordered one more...
---- The mushrooms tasted like they'd just been picked. They probably weren't, but anyway.
---- And after the second dish, my stomach protested, but my taste buds wanted more. The third dish took a long time coming, but the steward was so polite and apologetic, so knowledgeable about Italian food, and such a nice person that I couldn't complain!
---- Everything was sizzling hot, and served gracefully.
---- The tables are classy, with shiny chili-flake shakers, Tabasco sauce bottles, and more. Even the forks and spoons are worth appreciating! It's like the place is attached to a 4-star.
I didn't try the buffet... that's much cheaper than the menu, but then, guys, trust me: If you're indulging once in a while, then in terms of sheer taste, quality and quantity, the menu is actually value for money.
Why doesn't Zomato have a 11/10 rating?
Amazing experience having food here. They served everything hot in a buffet which I liked the most. Italian food was really good at taste. Good ambience and amazing service from little Italy. Thank you for your service.
Good Italian food here...
Ambience is good too...
Pure vegetarian in Navi Mumbai gives additional point to this place..
For soup try Z4 in the menu. Nachos with cheese sauce. P.21 or P.22 for pizza can give it a try.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Visited this place last weekend. Had booked a table but wasn't necessary as it doesn't get jampacked all the time. We went for the buffet option. In starters we had Nachos, sauted mushroom with garlic bread and toasted bread with spinach sauce. Sauted mushroom was yummm. So was the spinach sauce. Had tried their bruschetta last time and it wasn't that great so didn't order this time. Nachos is just okayish.
Soups we had tomato soup and mushroom soup. Tomato soup was average tasting. Mushroom soup tasted really good.
We had Fantasy and Margherita pizza. We ordered fantasy pizza because it tasted great we had it the last time, but this time it was below average. Margherita pizza was much better.
Next up pastas, we ordered penne pasta in white sauce and it was a complete winner! With broccoli and hint of garlic it was the best tasting dish in the entire menu. We had also ordered mexican rice and it tasted more or less like homemade khichadi.
Desserts: We had tried chocolate bomb the last time and didn't like it so we ordered mango cheesecake and tiramisu. Mango cheesecake was literally melt in the mouth like. I just don't get the quantity they serve at one time cause I have to call like 5 more tiny helpings to satiate my craving. Tiramisu tasted just average.
Service seems a little slow when they get to 75% of their seating capacity. There's lack of coordination among the staff members. Other person doesn't know if we have asked for more helping of a starter and would take away the plates hastily and lay the plates for main course.
Ambience is good with ample seating and a large picture of Venice.
Overall a good experience!
Loved the food. Ambiance is also great. Perfect place for veg lovers. I had ordered corn cheese balls, lime soda, garlic bread, nawabi pizza and chocolate bomb. All of them were too good!
I frequent this place as it is one of the few vegetarian joints in Navi Mumbai. Thin crust pizzas are great to have, starters to desserts, they have certain taste that pleases my buds. the place has inviting ambiance and the washrooms are clean. At times, service can be faster. Overall, recommended.
Absolutely amazing... Had papad Paratha.. Well it's well stuff equally and taste wise also good.. Manager n staff are well mannered n too quick to handle your questions.. Amazing to have.. Well must Visit this place..
Little Italy ranks in my list of top 2 restaurants. The food is delicious, ambience quiet and peaceful, managers are helpful and attentive. Can't make enough mention of the food though. Every dish I've ordered during each visit, has been so delicious that our group has always been stunned into silent enjoyment of the food. I absolutely love this place!
I tried their lunch buffet.....loved the pasta,the pizza was great and there was fried mushrooms which I loved in appetizer....though I did not like the soup and the other appetizers surprisingly what I loved was the desert they served...blue berry cheese cake,mango cheese cake ,brownie,caramel custard were all made to perfection.
Tried the Sunday brunch and I must say, it was absolutely delicious and worth the price. They had a wide variety of starters which was served at the table like Nachos, fried mushrooms, onion rings, 2 different types of pizza, 2 types of garlic bread and corn cheese balls. Like most of the buffets these days, not much efforts were put in for the main course, it was decent though. There was Lasange, Enchiladas, Risotto and live past counter. The Home Made RAVIOLI pasta in some pink sause is a must try and something new. The desserts were good too, all the cheese cake and brownies.
Amazing food and superb hospitality. Pizza and Pasta as per taste had been made. Courtesy and hospitality by the stew was perfect. Must visit
Location is also peaceful
Tried the set menu buffet dinner....the spread is decent with good numbers of choices for soup starters and the main course....
I had ordered minestrone soup which was ok....
The starters were good specially the nachos .....for mains we tried the pasta, the pizza , the lazania....all of them were good
For dessert we tried the tiramisu and the chocolate boom....
The need to significantly improve on the tiramisu
Overall a value for money dinner buffet
I spent my Valentine's day here with my bestie Ritika Kuniyal and let me tell you I am in love with this place now.. amazing food 💗 I am hard core non vegetarian and I rarely like veg food but little Italy really changed my mind.. we ordered quesadilla , fantasy pizza , pretty pink juice and cream caramel dessert .. it was delicious and fresh .. I would definitely recommend you all to visit here ..

A place for hardcore Italian food lovers. It might be the closet to Italian food that one get in the area. Good ambience with very attentive staff. Seating is quite comfortable and is perfect for a quite getaway.
Food is good nothing great (maybe due to me not being a fan of Italian cuisine). We had lunch buffet and the spread was quite large. There were 5 starters out of which the Cheese Nachos stood out. The cheese corn ball and the stir fry mushrooms weren't that good. The bruscheta was good and then the normal garlic bread was okay.
The main course had quite a lot of choices. 5 pizza, 5 pasta and Mexican rice and Enchiladas were there. Some of the pizzas were good especially the Tabasco and Scilia were good. Pastas were definitely the stand out. Arabita Alfredo a d mixed sauce pasta were good. The favours were subtle with the right zing if Italian spices. The enchiladas was definitely a failure. We couldn't finish the dish it was way too lemony. They have bottomless mocktails which were good. Blue Moon which is just blue lagoon was good.
The real deal breaker was the desserts. It was great. Mango cheesecake and chocolate brownie were delicious with the perfect amount of sweetness. Blueberry cheesecake was okay and we have had much better ones.
Overall a good experience. But the food from the A la carte menu is expensive. It's better to have a buffet here then order dish separately.
Ambience - 3.5
Food - 3.5
Value for money - 3.5
Good place for Italian. We ordered
Mushroom salad - plain mushroom, beans, goat cheese salad. No dressing and less in seasoning. Simple taste.
Four cheese pizza - good one but not the expected best thin crust pizza.
Ravioli pasta - The staff suggested it is homemade ravioli, it was dipped in creamy cheesy white sauce but felt the filling inside the ravioli was little less.
Some mock tails and on the whole it all costs around rs2000.
Will visit to try other options.!!!
The very fact being a proper Italian Restaurant makes it different from others. It's a fine dining family restaurant. The ambience is calm and simple. I loved the name of the dishes. The Crostini Della Casa, Bruschetta Al Pomodoro, Pizza Napoli and Risotto were delectable. I liked the flavour of the authentic herbs. In the dessert we had Cheesecake and Pastry which were good. The Nachos were tasty. I would like to suggest to kindly add Ravioli as it's hardly available anywhere. But the only drawback is that it's a pure vegetarian restaurant.
Superb food, service and classy ambience. I lost the count of dishes but I remember the best ones. Onion soup, nachos with cheese, garlic cheese bread, funghi trifolati, Alfredo pasta and desserts. Few dishes disappointed me, sicilia pizza and arrabbiata pasta and sweet salty lemon soda. Go for Virgin mohito. Loved all the desserts.

Had Corleone, minestrone and reader salad.....threesome....difficult to find, easy to eat........mesmerizing and amazing taste....👍mouth watering dishes.. the service was average due to delay in the order (35 mins)..
It's a place for the hardcore Italian lovers. The ceaser salad is just too good. The quality of lettuce used is great. Really awesome food. Must go for all the Italian lovers.
Great place to visit in vashi , with best ambience and quality Italian Veg meal. Unlimited buffet at 599 during weekend exclusive tax and 499 on weekdays. Buffet with variations in starters , Mocktails and dessert's where amazing but there was something i would like suggest its service was bit slow we had to wait for 15 20 min for starters and there wasnt proper synchronization like we got starters first then after 15 min Mocktails so things where jumbled up bt talking taste it was yummy for foody person like i would like to give
4.5/5 for taste
3/5 for service
4.5/5 ambience
4/5 Value for money
People who wants to try something new in Italian pure veg they must visit here at vashi for once its an amazing place and even i would prefer to visit again.Anurag Karande
If u r looking for Italian food then it is the best to go and eat. Ambience is ok, a little costly but taste is superb, we ordered m4 Nachos, P17 fantasy pizza and E11 chocolate brownie,all are awesome.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
You haven’t fallen in love with food until you have eaten Italian food. Visiting Little Italy has made me fall in love with food all over again. And no, it’s not the love for the Indian teekha khaana or the cliche cheese used namelessly in Italian food but the blend of herbs and spices tossed well in breads and pasta’s.
MUST HAVE’S: Funghi Trifolati , Puttanseca and Pizza alla Vodka
AMBIENCE AND APPROACHABILITY:
Little Italy at Vashi is placed right next to the very classy joints which include Mainland China and more, making the approach road very happening. What’s best is that it’s just 2-3 mins away from Vashi station. Google Maps come very handy here as it drops you right outside the restaurant.
Little Italy is situated on the 1st floor of the building. The ambience is not only maintained on the inside but also the stairs that lead you to the restaurant are elegant and chic. Beautiful is what I must say! The ambience is very warm, slightly contemporary and not Italian to the extent that it is not understandable.
THE RESTAURANT AND ITS STAFF:
During the weekday’s the restaurant does have a lunch buffet which give you a plus of having bits of everything and an entire segment is dedicated to the same.
The staff of Little Italy is something that I would like to highlight upon. We are often quite educated enough to be able to order international cuisine’s. But looking at an elaborate yet authentic menu like this, it’s only the staff that comes handy. They are extremely polite and help you make the right choices (cause before choosing the right partner and friends; comes FOOD)
DRINKS:
The drinks menu being a little limited makes you concentrate over the food more. What did we have?
Lemon/ Peach Iced Tea:
The peach iced tea is much better than the lemon iced tea, had more flavor. The lemon iced tea was over powered with more lemon flavors in it.
Virgin Mojito
Absolute WINNER in the drinks! You have to try this once you visit this restaurant. The abundance of mint leaves used in this drink is out of the world. It makes you feel fresh, it’s rejuvenating and is not extra sweet nor sour that makes you feel sick later. It tastes just right and bang on for this one!
FOOD
Caesar Salad:
Lettuce leaves mixed with oven roasted croutons, black olives and parmesan shavings. The mayo really enhances the experience of this salad, and the olives do nothing but add additional flavor to the salad. A must have for starting off your meal.
Spinaci Salsa:
Hot Creamy Spinach sauce served with thin crispy toast. The flavor is just amazing and orgasmic!! It doesn’t matter if you like spinach or otherwise but after eating this dish, you will fall in love with spinach!!
Funghi trifolati:
Mushrooms tossed with Italian herbs and garlic served with garlic bread. I was not a great fan of mushrooms till I ate this dish; perfectly cooked mushrooms with yummy garlic bread just took my breath away!!
Visiting an Italian joint and not having pizza is like a crime. The crust of the pizza’s they serve here is thin and hence you concentrate on the other flavors more.
What pizza’s did we try?
Pizza alla vodka
It mainly consists of tomatoes sauce with jalapeno’s, red peppers, capers over a bed of vodka and cheese and parmesan cheese sprinkled over. What’s best is that the vodka flavoring is very undertone and the master flavor is that of the jalapeno’s, capers and red peppers. Outstanding is what I can say! Must Must Must try!
Fantasy Pizza
It does have a slightly tangy and spicy sauce with the taste of herbs infused topped with cottage cheese. Again a great pizza!
Pasta and Risoto
Puttanseca
I really liked this dish and is a must try! It consists of spaghetti pasta in a spicy tomato sauce with strong flavorings of basil. The sauce does have small chunks of juicy tomato that go brilliantly well with the dish.
Pesto Risotto
Pesto Risotto has a typical pesto sauce with traditional vegetables which include avocado, broccoli and more! Yum in my tum, because the more you have it, the more it grows on you.
DESSERTS:
Chocolate Bomb
A must have when you visit this place. The presentation of the dessert is that of a marble like chocolate cake (which obviously has molten lava in it) served with a double scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzled with chocolate sauce. Once you break open into the cake is when the real bomb(molten lava) appears. It’s not too Chocolately, just right!
Tiramisu
The rum flavored tiramisu was well dominated with the flavor of rum at the center. Moist, tasty and not extra sweet.
An excellent place to try out Italian food when at Navi Mumbai. Our rating: 5/5 BULLS EYE!!
‘Italian food is all about ingredients and its not fussy and its not fancy’ – Wolfgang Puck.
Little Italy or initially named La Pizzeria came into existence in 1989 by Mr Raj Mehta ( Which explains the veg menu ) in Pune. When hardly any Indians had knowledge about Italian food Mr Raj, with the expertise of his Italian friend, took a bold move to get authentic Italian food to India and the rest is history.
They opened up their 1st Mumbai outlet in 1995 in Juhu and Little Italy name came into being. Its been 27 years now and their progress graph has only shown upward direction.
Little italy vashi : Service and hospitality : very good
We took set menu for dinner and few items like toast in starters , lasagne in main course , and tiramisu in dessert were not upto the mark, However all other items were good.
Went there on a Sunday night, the ambiance was okay not very good, not very happening place. Service was good. Food was not awesome, I had bruschetta which was not good at all, pizza was okay. Overall not a satisfactory experience.
I usually don't visit pure veg outlets, but this one was an exception and I do not regret it. The italian food over here is simply amazing!
We went for the lunch buffet... Most of the starters were pretty good. Pasta was best and the pizzas were also nice. The deserts were awesome!! The mango cheesecake and chocolate brownie were so good that I couldn't resist from eating more of them.
Recommended dishes:
Zuppa Di Ravioli
Nachos with cheese
Garlic Bread
Aranchini Balls
Penne pasta in white sauce
Overall a very good experience :)
Amazing food n taste.
Nice aesthetics sooothing to the eyes, amiable hospitality.
Definitely worth a second visit.
Recommended dish - Mexican rice
Food
Vegetarian's paradise
Awesome pizzas... deserts were out of the world
Ambiance
Nice ambiance...nice setting...the infrastructure was quite good
Service
Only one problem...the service is a bit slow, not very slow but definitely not quick
Do not go here if u are in a hurry and need quick food
But otherwise amazing experience
Not a very big fan of veg only outlets and specially Italian, but little italy is one exception. Visited the Vashi outlet for the fixed course dinner on a weekday and boy did we have a good time.
The outlet is decently done up but what sets the tone is the service. Special mention of our "server" Nazrul, he made the dinner even better with his suggestion and attitude.
On the food, this was a 5 course set meal
1. Soups - Tomato - Pretty good; Onion Soup - Awesome
2. Entree - Bruschetta - Avoid ; Nachos - Nice ; Sauted Mushroom - Brilliant & Toasts - Avoid
3. Main Course - Sicilian Pizza - Brilliant; Lasagne - Brilliant(Must Try); White sause Pasta - Avoid; Mexican Rice - Avoid.
4. Dessert - Chocolate Bomb - Nice & Tiramisu - Just about ok.
All in all a nice experience, definitely heading back to try more.

Veg food ?? Naaah .... I prefer non-veg . And when you think of Italian food you think about sausages , pepperoni, chicken..... But this place changed my perception completely.
The interior is nice and has a warm feeling.When we reached there ,the place had only 2-3 tables occupied , probably because it was the first day if diwali .
Ordered Cream de funghi ( cream of mushroom) soup . The soup was light, not very thick and I could taste the mushrooms in it. A good one to ignite the digestive juices.
Next up , we ordered a pizza. The best part of ordering pizza here is you can get a half n half combination of any pizzas they have.This is great because you can taste two different pizzas for the price of one. We had Sicilia and fantasy. The ingredients were fresh and authentic.
The Aracncini alla Siciliana which was fried balls with resotto ,mozzarella ,mushrooms and green peas.
It was served with Italian tomato sauce. The dish was yummy , the authentic tomato sauce raised it a notch up.
For desert we ordered chocolate bomb with ice cream which was good.
Overall, the place serves very good Italian dishes , I think I'll visit this place for 15-20 times to fully explore all the pastas, pizzas, salads they have there.
The waiters serving us were very polite and courteous and prompt.
Price wise the restaurant is not too expensive .
Forgot to mention : Apart from the Italian food they also serve some selected Mexican dishes like variants of Enchiladas, nachos and tortilla chips n salsa.Would love to try the nachos next time ...with chilled beer ..... :)
Good ambience and friendly service. Red Wine Sangria avoidable in future - taste of wine vanished into other syrups and fruits were suspect. Good starters especially mushrooms and so also the pizza - thin crust smooth sauce and cheese rightly done. Toppings could be generous. Previous experience indicates cocktails excellent.
i was craving for some authentic italian food..but being a hardcore non-vegeterian i was in doubt whether to try little italy or not..neverthless we decided to give it a try and i was pleasantly surprised that the veg italian food can taste so awesome..we ordered cream of mushroom in soups, pizaa napoli and fantasy , aranchini balls and choco walnut fudge for the dessert..i completly love all the dishes..the food was awesome..the service was quick ..staff was very courteous..when we went there it was not crowded much.
the ambiance was pleasant .overall , its a must try for italian food lovers. will be going there again to try some more dishes.
Little Italy has always been my go to place for some great Italian Comfort food!!!
This joint in Vashi has only exceeded the expectation I have from Little Italy as a brand... extremely friendly staff and lovely people who understand the customers pulse... great food and ambience... a place where I would recommend to anyone and would visit again for sure!

Little Italy sure feels like one hell of a name.. Trust me it was one of the best authentic Italian fine dines i have been. The aura, the music, the decor makes u feel like you are actually sitting by the Grand Canal in Venice.The service was perfect. The buffet menu is worth the money and its always one step ahead of what you would expect.
Minestrone Soup : 3.5/5 (Could have been a bit more well seasoned)
Corn Cheese Balls : 3/5 (Quantity and presentation was not upto the mark. Taste was great)
Caprese : 4/5 (Was surely something new. Loved it.)
Bruschetta Al Podomoro : 4/5 (Excellent Consistency and Finesse of the tomato topping)
Salads : 4/5 (Offers you a range of salads all having their unique taste leaving u no choice other than trying each one.)
Barbaresca : 5/5 (A Fan of their Patsas)
Al Fredo Pasta : 5/5 (Couldnt have been better)Tre Peperoni : 5/5 (Thin Crispy Perfect)
Manali: 4/5 (Seasoning was a bit off the mark)

Little Italy (with a big heart) !!
Situated in a quiet locality next to Raghuleela Mall, a 5 minute walk from the Vashi Railway station, Little Italy is an easy to locate pure vegetarian restaurant.
Little Italy is one such restaurant which will never fail to dissapoint you when it comes to authentic Italian cuisines. Happened to visit this place during their Venice festival and I must say, they stood up to their reputation (yet again) !!
What on earth did I do right to deserve such hospitality ?!?!
Probably one of the finest and well trained staff I have come across, full marks to the management for that.
A must visit restaurant for authentic Italian lovers (and vegetarians of course :p)
Dishes tried:
1. Aranchini Balls: Perfectly fried risotto balls served with arrabitta dip.
2. Bruschetta Misto: Colourful. Tasty. Well Presented.
3. Zuppa di Ravioli: Steamed ravioli in a delightful flavourful soup. Must have.
4. Venetian Minestrone: A tomato based soup with chopped veggies.
5. Insalata Mondena: Salad never tasted sooooooo gooooood. Simply amazing !!
6. Pizza Montello: Crispy wood oven pizza with mushrooms and bell pepper. Probably the highlight of my meal.
7. Pesto Genovese: A perfect blend of pesto and basil. Delightful.
Suggested dishes: Pizza Montello and Insalata Mondena.

This place is great for a quick hangout venue, the staff, I felt, is very friendly. They do all sorts of things to make u feel comfortable. The food is great too. Specially the pastas have a great variety which I personally recommend. The pizzas are a great choice too, and garlic bread is awesome. I personally like this place because even though the place is not very big, it still seems very open and the hygiene level is above expectations.
Visited it during this Venetian festival which was nothing extraordinary than a little decor and preset buffet menu.
So, it started off with soup which was good, followed by Starters which were decent (Arachini balls & Tossed veggies). Pizzas with thin crust were quite good. Pastas were okayish not that great. Finally the Tiramisu n cheesecake as desserts were fine.
Food overall was quite good but not great.
Ambience is quiet and there is light music playing.
Service was good too. Cost per head was Rs.750 including taxes without alcohol.
A terrific place for pure vegetarians who like Italian cuisine.
Visited the place for buffet lunch and was quite happy to see the spread. The salads and breads were great to start with. For starters we did bruschetta which was very good. The pizza deserves a special mention as do the enchiladas. We went for red and white sauce pastas, both of which turned out to be average. The dessert spread had a vide variety of cheesecakes from orange to blueberry along with caramel pudding and also brownie with vanilla icecream. The ambience was soothing and calm and staff was helpful.

Navi Mumbai now has it's own Italian restaurant, just when Little Italy from Juhu extended their branch to Vashi.
Located on the first floor of Platinum Techno Park (above Mahesh Lunch Home) is a spacious & lavish premise occupied by the restaurant. Spacious, as much as it can accommodate almost 60 guests at once.
Generally the restaurant hosts buffet lunch during weekdays & weekends. But to add more excitement to the menu, they have come up with a Venetian Food Festival bringing all the authentic tastes of Venice to our city. The buffet spread is worth 599 INR plus taxes. One can chose from their impressive variety of Pizzas and get your own Pasta made from the live pasta counter as well.
The Venetian Food Festival has started since 7th September and ends on the 25th September, 2016.
Timing- 12 noon to 11:45 p.m.
Meanwhile, we'd love to highlight the best dishes from the Buffet-
Zuppa Di Ravioli Soup: Ravioli stuffed with Cottage cheese and walnuts served in a Pumpkin Broth tasted pretty delicious. The warm and aromatic flavors of the broth were indeed satisfying to our tastebuds.
Aglio Olio: This is one of their signature pastas made with fresh bell peppers, seasoning, drizzled with Olive oil and contains no cheese at all. A very good option for the health conscious ones!
Pasta in Cream Sauce: We customised this pasta at the live pasta counter with Farfalle pasta with cream cheese sauce as the base. The fresh vegetables consisted of babycorns, olives, broccoli, mushroom, bell peppers and jalapenos.
Pizza Montello: Fresh tomato sauce on the base topped with large slices of roasted Mushrooms, onions, bell peppers and Mozzarella. We absolutely loved the Pizza as it was creamy and filled with such delicious toppings.
Nachos: These are your regular Nachos, but made with homemade Tortilla chips loaded with bell peppers and cream cheese. Simple, yet delicious!
Venetian Kiwi Roll for dessert: This Kiwi Roll was fluffy, soft and gooey; containing rich flavors and the sweetness was balanced aptly.
While we loved every bit of the above mentioned dishes, we also disliked a few namely- the Bruschetta Al Cacio for being too sweet and dry, Stuffed Mushroom Ricotta since it was majorly overcooked, and Cauliflower Verde because of it's slightly bland taste.
Haven said that, we also have high hopes from the restaurant's team to improvise on the dishes mentioned above; and we would love to try them again after they've been revised.
The service and staff cooperation was excellent and that made the restaurant's overall impression noteworthy.
All in all, we had a good time at Little Italy and also enjoyed the Venetian Food Festival.

This place is good but not great. If you want to dine close to authentic Italian then this is the place in vashi. Although. They need better servers. The food is good at right price.
A great place to have Italian food in Vashi. Very close to the station. Had tortellini pasta, thin crust pizza and rissotto. All of them were pretty good but a little expensive. They even have a decent buffet option with and without drinks. And it's perfect for vegetarians and Jains.
A lovely place for Italian food, as the name suggests. It's pure veg, like all it's chain of restaurants.
I just love their mushroom starter, the pizzas which are so tasty, with a thin crust, and of course the pastas / risottos.
A bit on the expensive side, but worth it to splurge once in a while on a nice occasion.
It's not too full, so you can walk in for a table but if you're going in large groups of 7 or more, a reservation would be recommended so you can get adjoining tables.
They have relocated to Pune it seems. That's what the security guys told us. As per the other reviews we got from Google, the place was very nice and they served lasagna and Cannelloni here. We came here in search for the same. The place was easily accessible and noticeable in the traffic. Sorry that we couldn't enjoy having food from here.
Great place for a date or a family meal. The ambience, food quality, flavor, everything is on fleek. I love coming to this place and will keep coming. Very helpful staff too. Love the Caesar salad and the creamy pastas.
Awesome food and tasty dishes. One must go for buffet if you are visiting for first time. It's very affordable and variety is also available.
It's a great place for really close to authentic Italian cuisine. Of course one point to remember that it's pure veg. But food and ambience is great.
We had a dinner buffet on a weekday. The food was decent some of the items were not upto the mark. But considering the price of the buffet. Its good enough.
Great spread , with unlimited pizza and starters in reasonable price . Only issue is one has to pester the server to bring more since pizza and starter are not present in buffet spread .
Nice place for some good veg Italian food
Staff is cooperative and they suggest their best available dishes
